I agree with Benny. Making html pages is not the same as making a web
application.

..and, Gramps is not a web application, I would say. ;-)

I do believe improving the html is a valid goal, though, and making it
easier for others to post-process _any_ reports, seems also generally
desirable.

I too have some facility with html and css, and might be able to
contribute a little in this area, so I'd like to see the discussions
continue to be visible.
